The Best Free PC Games of 2016

Shadowverse

Here's one for the card players! Fans of Yu-Gi-Oh, Hearthstone, and other Trading Card-Based games will enjoy this new addition to competitive card collections. With seven character classes and over 400 cards available, hours of play await.

Hailing from Japan, Shadowverse "features AAA artwork and unique game mechanics that make it the most visually and tactically rich CCG on the market." The art is a vibrant and impressive take on the illustrated style most commonly used for J-anime.

You have three ways to buy new card packs in Shadowverse. The three in-game currencies are Tickets, Crystals, and Rupies. The ShadowverseNew-Player Guide notes:

"There are other ways of obtaining new cards besides spending crystals or rupies.

Tackle Missions

Tapping the Missions button on the Home screen will show various missions for the day. Clearing these missions will net you rewards.

Unlock Achievements

Win matches, level up, and reach other in-game milestones to get rewards.

Purchase Crystals

Crystals can be purchased from the Shop.

Play the Main Story

Play through the stories to earn rewards. Some cards can only be obtained by playing through the story.

Create Cards

Cards that are no longer needed can be liquefied into vials from the Card screen. These vials can then be used to create new cards, as long as you have the required number of vials."
